,

I don't understand your negative viewpoint here. First,

those " additional " organisms are almost certainly beneficial.

Second, they are not " non-yogurt " organisms unless you define yogurt

by certain emasculated industrially manufactured versions with only

thermophilus and bulgaricus. Traditional yogurt would *always* have

a wider variety of bacteria besides these two, including streptococci

besides thermophilus, lactobaccilli besides bulgaricus, and others

like leuconostocs. And even yeasts and molds as well, though these

would generally be transient " spoilage " organisms (while probably

being common and fortuitous).

Are you personally on bad terms with our pal Bifey?
